Using his wealth of experience and his engaging style Steve Bulmer puts the fun into cooking. Our course ,in meat cookery, was a great chance to meet other foodies and to enjoy the fruits of Steve's talent. I was amazed at how many dishes we managed to get through in a day. Everything about the day was positive. In comparison... More

My son and I attended a Mediterranean Cookery Course last week. It was our first experience of a cookery course and it certainly won't be our last. We came away more knowledgeable and enthused. Our tutor, Steve Bulmer was fantastic, entertaining and inspiring. A day we will not forget.

I was bought the days course as a gift, I was unsure what to expect having never tried a cookery course. It was fun from start to finish. Lots of useful tips, great stories from Stephen. A man with so much experience and willingly shares. I will be trying another course. I'm using my new skills and recipes already.

I went on the Indian Masterclass with Pret and Parish. So relaxed and friendly atmosphere with nice guests. Went on my own and never felt awkward once.

I have never been on a cookery day before but I couldn't resist the Aga course being offered last week. From start to finish, the day was a wonderful experience and definitely one I shall do again. I was served delicious coffee on arrival and introduced to the other cooks. I gather Stephen Bulmer is new to Swinton Park but... More

My first cookery course and although I was very nervous, both John the Chef and the great crowd of fellow budding cooks soon put me at my ease. The content and organiasation of the course was excellent from coffee in front of the roaring fire(In the hotel reception where the staff were delightful) to the lunch where we all feasted... More

Wonderful few days. Rosemary just as on TV. Her style takes perhaps a bit of getting used to but very useful course. Jilly fantastic as is the chef. They cater also for all diets without complaint. We even got a tour of the estate by the Lord of the Manor. Great setting. Highly recommended.
